In brief:
Fear of Abuse

I believe what you mean is why are doctors reluctant to treat these conditions, right? The problem we have today is that scores of patients approch us for treatment with opioids (narcotics) whose real intention is to abuse or divert (sell) these medications.

That makes us suspect of all patients, many of whom are legit. We have a number of tools that separate the legit from non-legit patients.

In brief:
Difficult to treat

Unlike many other medical problems, these conditions are very difficult to treat and there is no one medication or procedure that will fix these problems.

Unfortunately, medications like narcotics can make these problems worse over the long term despite giving short term relief. Narcotics are not always the answer for these conditions. The best treatment is a multidisciplinary approach.

In brief:
No objective tests

All of the pain syndromes, like most psychiatric illnesses, are almost completely subjective, and therefore, very difficult to accurately diagnose.

There are no objective blood tests, x rays, and the like. There is nothing objective to see or measure. Lastly, treatment is an individual trial and takes a lot of time. Best treatment is from a specialist.
